Trello

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to detail how to configure and integrate Qflow with Trello to allow interaction between both platforms, allowing to create, move, delete cards, add comments, add and remove members.

Trello has the following actions:

• Create card

• Add comment to card

• Move card

• Add member to card

• Remove member from card

• Delete card

Prerequisites

It is necessary to have a Trello account and a workspace created on the platform. You can create an account here.

Application parameter

To establish the connection, it is necessary to have at least one application parameter (see Application parameters) that allows establishing communication between Qflow and Trello. This parameter can be created from the service task configuration in Qflow. (see Connector Configuration from a Service Task)

To create a Trello application parameter, the following steps are required, as detailed below.

Application parameter using API Key and Token

This type of application parameter requires the following parameters:

• API Key: It is a key that allows Qflow to connect to the Trello workspace for which the key was created.

• Token: It is an access token that allows Qflow to access the workspace

To obtain them, the following steps must be followed:

1. Access the Power-Ups and integrations section of Trello, read and accept the Trello Developer Terms.

   

   Fig. 811 Trello Developer Terms selected in Privacy and Compliance

2. Select New to create a new integration.

   

   Fig. 812 New selected in Power-Ups and integrations

3. Fill in the required fields for the integration creation.

   

   Fig. 813 Create selected in New Power-Up or integration

4. Once the integration is created, generate a new API key.

   

   Fig. 814 Generate a new API key selected in Power-Ups and integrations

5. Select that you want to generate the API key.

   

   Fig. 815 Generate a new API key selected

6. Trello shows the API Key, which is the API Key to copy necessary to configure the Qflow application parameter. Once this is done, an access token must be generated by selecting Token.

7. The permissions that we will give to the integration when using the token we will create are listed. Select Allow

   

   Fig. 817 Allow selected in permissions section

8. Copy the generated token, which is the access token necessary to configure the Qflow application parameter. With this, the necessary steps on the Trello website are completed.

   

   Fig. 818 Copy the selected Token

9. In Qflow Design, add API Key and Token in the creation of the application parameter.

Once the steps are completed, it will be possible to create, move, delete cards, add comments, add and remove members in Trello from Qflow.
